G. NJ. Parks.

We have just returned from an inspec-
tion of the Mammonth Wholesale and re-
tail establishment Of G. NJ. Parks, Of Hills
boro. This house deserves more than
mere passing notice. Mr.. I. has spared
neither time Or money in fitting up an es-
tablishment here, second To none in the
State and will compare favorably with the
large Wholesale houses in the northern c-
ties.
The main and original house is Of consi-.
derable dimensions and the interior is con-
veniently arranged. The lower room for
general retail trade, is filed up with al
most everything that you can think Of.
The upper stories has various apartments
one, Exclusively for Hats and Trunks.
another. for Hardware and crockery-w ware,
another for Boots and Harness, still anoth-
er for various articles.
The Bazaar Jr. designed especially for
Millinery, is presided over by Mrs. Hassel!
and Miss Addie Smith two ladies'. OF snpe-
siof taste and qualification, they are kind,
obliging and attentive to their customers.
Tins room for neatness aud beauty is far a
head ofany thing we ever saw in the Mill
merry line It has attached beautiful la
dies dressing room. A great convenience.
The upper Itory Of Bazaar Jr. is devoted
entirely to mems wear, which is convenient
ly arranged onstebles and presents hand
some view, here yoa may finn suits of al
sizes, styles and prices.
Surrounding his Store-aolse are three
very large warehouses, one. filed with Bug
gies which he keeps Oh hand for sale, the
others filed with heavy goods, all kinds Of
Farming implements, Wheat, Corn. Oats.
Meal. Flour, Rye, Bacon. Fertilizer, Mo-
lasses. Salt ard thousand other things,
ulso, the old Wbitted Factory at the Depot.
Mr. L has filed with Oil, Powder aud ma
ny other things too tedious TO mention.
w. have devoted more than our usual
splce in noticing this establishment, but,
push, energy and enterprise deserve fat
tering notice. See Mr.. Parks advertise
ment in this paper. He will in short
time, speak TO you through this paper with
another and more elaborate advertisement.

1t is not creditable to Auditor
Hewitps vigilance as an officer that
he should have allowed himself to be
imposed upon TO the extent of over
$1,000 by certain newspapers of the
state in publishing the call for Con-
stitution Convention. The insertion OF
the advertisement four times was
worth at regular rates from SIS to $25
in most of the papers Of the state.
The KENTUCKIAN's charge was $40
and there are but few of the country
newspapers of the State whose circu-
lation exceeds ours. This was about
what 1t was worth aud there is not a
country paper in Kentucky that
would not have inserted the adver-
tisemeDt for that price, and yet some
OF the smallest and most Insignificant
sheets in the State charged from 500
to S62, although they were required
to certify on oath that they were
charging their regular rates. Con
Hewitps watchful eye should have
detected these excessive charges
and the bills of such papers
should have been returned for cor
rection and card of rates demanded.
The advertisement will have to be
published again in 1889 and If the
Secretary of State will send IL to the
newspapers of the State instructing
them to give it four insertions and
send bill for $40, few, if any, of them
will decline to accept The terms.

WEED DESTRUCTION.
How to Clear Land of all Sorts of Perez
nlal Growth.


nlaI Growth.
1t is not an easy task to attack and
destroy those villainous weeds which
propagate by underground stems. or
by roots which, extending themselves
near the surface of the ground, throw
out buds which produce shoots and in-
dependent plants every few inches
through the soil. We have one grip"
so to speak, upon all this class OF
weeds; they all need air, they have to
breathe. We may plow them, going
deep, narrowing thoroughly, raking
Off the ground with long-toothed tools,
and thus collect masses Of the roots
for burning. and this practice will be
found to be only severe checkto them
for one season. If upon land so treated
we can put some hoed crop which will
receive almost constant attention and
be kept perfectly clean, the hoe going
always below the top OF the soil. SC
that the weeds will get neither light
nor air, so that after the crop is taken
of still no chance given for them to sec
the light, or get breathing spell, there
may be hope that in about two years
we can say we are free from the worst
of them. Even then, for several years,
bits of root that have somehow retained
vitality are likely to show life above
ground, and these, Of course, should
receive prompt special treatment as
soon as discovered.
Taking an enlarged idea Of weeds
to include brush and swamp, roadside
and hedgcrow growths, from briars to
aldcrs-we remark that they may be
destroyed by close cutting early in the
season, following up the cutting as
soon as any considerable growth APP
pears. We may allow growth early in
The season, when the root Is strong,
for the sake of exhausting it; but in
iry hot weather every shoot should be
cut. pulled up or trodden down, so
that complete exhaustion and death
shall take place. When such growths
are cut close to tho groundin April,
again about the middle Of June, and rs
they grow during the season, the next
year will see but few Of thom. -AnIcr-
